UNFAVOURABLE WEATHER
Calcutta, Mar. 27. The picturesque aerial assault on Mount Everest by the Hous-j ton Expedition led by the Mar- quis of Douglas, and Clydesdale is being held up by unfavourable weather conditions.
The members of the expedition are waiting at Parnea, Bihar, for the dying out of a 72-miles an hour gale which has been blowing steadi- ly, compelling the cancellation of arrangements made for a further test fight to-day,
All the difficulties hitherto -ex- perienced have been due to the wea- ther which is definitely unfavour- able. The airmen must have a clear day for the purpose of photo. graphy at the summit of the Hima- ayan giant. At present, visibility is very poor and unsatisfactory.

It is also undesirable that the attempt should be made when the wind is, over fifty miles an hour or less than fifteen miles an hour at the summit as, in the latter case, vacuum might be created which would pull down the aeroplanes."
Meanwhile, a flood of Indians are arriving to witness the attempt. --Reuter
